Get A QuoteHow Sump Pumps Work
Sump pumps serve as a first line of defense against groundwater in basements and crawl spaces. They are installed in specially constructed pits within the lower-level of buildings, to aid in the pumping, or pushing up of water to a higher, above-ground level, to allow for proper disposal into the sewer line. In addition to facilitating proper gray water removal, sump pumps also serve a few other purposes.
-
Collecting water from drains or natural accumulation
-
Automatically activating pumping when water reaches a set level
-
Pumping out excess water within a building, safely away from the foundation
Sounding of an alarm when water level thresholds are reached
Our Plumbing Pump Specialists at Proline Plumbing & Sewer will perform a comprehensive plumbing inspection to ensure the right system is selected to be installed at your property. There are several factors to take into consideration when determining the proper pumping system to install.
-
The local groundwater conditions
-
The discharge requirements
Pit size and water volume
Types of Sump Pumps
Two main types of sump pumps can be installed, depending on your property-specific needs.
Submersible Pumps - Submersible pumps are installed fully underwater within the sump pit. They are generally quieter during operation, offer better cooling for extended run times, and are sealed to protect against moisture and humidity—making them ideal for finished basements or high-use situations
A pumps specialist from our team will assess your property’s layout, water volume, access needs, and budget to determine which type of pump is most suitable for optimal performance and longevity.
